Star Sports is NEVER live

What a shame - Star Sports says live when it is not. We knew Bartoli won, Sania lost hours before it was shown on Star.
Shame on these Marwaris tv sports. Shyte.

It was definitely a lot of acting

Serena wanted a loo break when the opponent was doing well and was about to serve. After being denied, and broken Daniela's serve, she conveniently forgot about the inconvenience ;) its gamesmanship but also was quite intelligent too...

Nasty Michael and notorious John
by jam hangzo on Jul 04, 2007 04:18 PM

I did not expect such sour comments from Michael Stitch and John McEnroe.They know what it is to be injured while playing and their comments were nasty,racist and uncalled.I can understand John making sour comments as he is a devil in disguise,Lucifer best pupil but where did the one slam wonder Michael come from.Michael is not a good sports,I remember him loosing his temper and sulking whenever Boris Becker's name was mention.Both are Germans and no one knew Michael because he is not a great player and only few remember him from the Nasty comments he made on Becker.Comming back to Serena,she may not be my favourite but she is the ultimate compititor.Also Serena was in no danger to loose the match as she had the 1st set 6-2 and faking Injury was not a tactic to buy time.The poor girl was hurting,it was obvious when she hit the calf with her racket her calf muscles contorted and cramped and people who saw the match knows what I am talking.Daniela is such a graceful opponent and her concern was visible on her face.She did not know how to play as she knew Serena was hurting.It was a golden chance for her.Ugly and bald John will say Serena used vodoo to win and once upon a time handsome hunk Michael Stitch will say it was not a fair match.Both these wicked men should be butchered & sacrificed to appease the rain God in Wimbledon.

this is not a fair comment from the experts. she was in pain and she took advantage of it. Please dont criticise others and take advantage.

She was acting mate.... She is good at that. Several male and female players do that anyway. It's nothing wrong. But it was acting.

Serena has been known for her dramatics & histrionics on court for a long long time now. This was just the latest instance.
In her books you do anything you have to, in order to win.
